Dave C Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I recorded the premire episode the other night and finally had the chance to watch it. Excellent show. It goes to show you, you don't need profanity, nudity and graphic violence to pull off what appears to be a very good mob drama so far. I'll be adding this to my scheduled DVR recordings. http://www.nbc.com/The_Black_Donnellys/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_E Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 It goes to show you, you don't need profanity, nudity and graphic violence to pull off what appears to be a very good mob drama so far. But it doesn't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric M Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I didn't watch it out of sheer spite because it replaced my beloved Studio 60. I see that I can watch the premiere on NBC.com, so I might give it a chance later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whooter Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I liked it a lot, too, but would prefer to have my Studio 60 back, as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I didn't watch it out of sheer spite because it replaced my beloved Studio 60. Bingo. Add me to the "Bring back Studio 60!" parade.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneticDefect Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 The pilot is airing again starting in one minute (NBC). Time for me to catch it in HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimness Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I could probably just look this up on IMDB, but did anybody else notice that the Donnellys mom is captain Janeway from Voyager? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave C Posted April 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Cancelled. :bh Damn, I really liked the show. So you Studio 60 fans will be some what happy... http://www.pastdeadline.com/ I got the scoop this very afternoon from Lesley Cerwin, the NBC publicist assigned to the show, and she confirmed that production on episode 19 was scheduled to be completed today and work on episode 20 commenced on Thursday. So yes, it appears that at least the full season complement of shows will make it into the can for Aaron Sorkin's noble but low-rated hour. But all of you "Save Studio 60" cyber sites and blogs, take note: it is now highly unlikely the show will be brought back this spring. The more probable scenario (strictly my conjecture): it will come back in originals over the summer as something of a "bell lap" final farewell.

Jordan_E Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 It's one of those shows that I meant to watch, but always forgot it's on (dang Seinfeld reruns!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
